Interface to search algorithms. Implementations of this interface are found in Foswiki/Store/SearchAlgorithms.

`StaticMethod` query( $query, $webs, $inputTopicSet, $session, $options ) → $infoCache

$query - A Foswiki::Search::Node object. The tokens() method of this object returns the list of search tokens.
$web - name of the web being searched, or may be an array reference to a set of webs to search
$inputTopicSet - iterator over names of topics in that web to search
$session - reference to the store object
$options - hash of requested options

This is the top-level interface to a search algorithm.
